Cannot Change Ink Assignment

Cannot Change Ink Assignment

Problem/Question
When adding a Print Environment, everything in Print Settings/Ink Assignment is grayed out and the Inks used cannot be changed.

Solution/Work-Around
 For certain printer models the Ink Assignments cannot be changed in the RIP due to Manufacturer specifications.
Older Printer models that were implemented before still allow the Ink Assignment to be changed.
Please contact your Printer Manufacturer for more information.
